What is recorded here
No visible trace marks the ground, yet a man-made passage runs beneath Oldcourt West. It hides inside a ringfort, waiting for footsteps that have not come since Power first named it. The absence of a hole does not mean absence of a road. It means the road learned patience.
In ringfort (CO065-01901-). Mentioned by Power (1917, 197). No visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
